A synesthesia test is all "a buzz" online lately. The test tells you what color each of the letters in your name are. Say what?  Yes, I thought the same thing.... "Whatchu talkin bout Willis" but apparently the test is backed by science and synesthesia is a real thing.

According to Wiki, Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. Some people see or feel musical notes as colors or textures, having visualized representations of time, and in rare cases, even tasting words...hmmm now I wonder what my name tastes like!

Bernadette Sheridan created the popular new Synesthesia.Me test, she herself has this condition and said "People who see or associate letters and numbers with specific colors have grapheme-color synesthesia, and that's the most common form." Other forms of synesthesia involve seeing or feeling musical notes as colors or textures, having visualized representations of time, and in rare cases, even tasting words."

She says she created her synesthesia test so that people could see the exact colors she sees when she hears their names.
